Rounding off edges of 6.5" LC CCS Pads?

I'm curious if there was a way, DIY or commercial, to round off the edges of the 6.5" LC CCS pads. It would create a shape similar to the Edge or Meguairs pads.



Let me know.

Well I never heard of anyone doing that, I would usually just get the right pad for the right tool. But it don't hurt to try to save money. Might try a good pair of trimmers to shave off what you don't want. BTW cool avatar.

Ha, thanks, I believe I've commented on yours as well. :hifive:
 
Charles, do you own a duospur? If so, I bet the metal cheese grater looking parts could do just what you are looking for. Besides, the cheese grater thing is for reshaping foam pads.

Bert31 beat me to it. :) the duospur should do it no problem.

Yikes! Have you actually done that?



I agree with the original poster about the CCS pads. Why aren't there any rounded edge choices besides the CMA pads (hate the wimpy backing fabric)?

lol Terrible, but I immediately thought of this...

Yea, yikes.



Seriously though, both the duosput and razor blade idea sounds good. I'll try them both on some older, worn out pads first.

Thank you all so much for the suggestions.
 
I have a bunch of OEM CCS pads laying around. Think I'll take my duospur to em and see what happens. Good idea charlesaferg.
 
what about taking a small wood block and rap it with a course piece of sandpaper. I was actually think about how to do this the other day. But i am going to try it though on some old pads.

I wouldn't, especially with coarse sandpaper. If a piece of grit gets trapped in the foam, well, you're done for.
